How Animals Compete For Food. All animals require food which provides them with energy and raw materials to complete life processes, without which they may die. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms that coexist in the same environment and need to compete for territory, water, food, or mates. The most common of the competitive relationships, animals of the same species often live together in the same community. In an attempt to wipe out their top competitors, they sometimes go after each other, but those kills take more energy and come with more risk. As a result, a wide range of animals, from small insects to large mammals, are in constant competition with one another for food. In the rainforest, many of the big cats such as tigers, jaguars and leopards all compete for food that includes small mammals, rodents, wart hogs, antelopes and monkeys. In many cases, animals find food on the basis of their own. Animals in the horse and cattle families both process food through fermentation as microbes in the digestive system break down vegetation. Animals compete for food with others in their own species, as well of those in other species.
